Variable Load

In the traditional systems of isotonic training (weights, barbells, machines), the workload is determined as a percentage of the value of MaxStr expressed by the subject.

The other feature of the isotonic method is that the weight (the lifted mass) does not change during the exercise.

However, as shown by the biomechanical analysis, the muscle expresses diverse strength values at different angles of displacement and, consequently, a fixed isotonic load is not very effective:

– it may be insufficient where the muscle is able to express the maximum strength

– it may be excessive in critical areas with risk of joint overload.

This Variable Load method makes it possible, for the first time, to optimize the load at various angles, through specific load curves.

Variable Load: A Kineo Revolution

Customised Variable LoadKineo allows the use of different loads in the concentric and eccentric phases of the movement in order to achieve specific muscle adaptations and/or for additional security.

Protection from Joint OverloadsKineo system makes it possible to perform the movement with or without inertia: in the latter case, the displacement of the load requires an application of muscle strength throughout the movement, even in gestures characterized by great explosiveness.

Protection from PainKineo system makes it possible to perform the movement with or without inertia: in the latter case, the displacement of the load requires an application of muscle strength throughout the movement, even in gestures characterized by great explosiveness.

High Neuromuscular ActivationKineo system makes it possible to perform the movement with or without inertia: in the latter case, the displacement of the load requires an application of muscle strength throughout the movement, even in gestures characterized by great explosiveness.
